“…In 1978, Miles O. Hayes and Erich R. Gundlach [2] studied the coastal vulnerability evaluation under oil spill stress. Subsequently, studies on vulnerability evaluation of coastal zones under oil spill stress have been conducted in New Zealand, Israel, Australia, Spain, and Brazil, among others [3][4][5][6][7]. However, past studies focused on the qualitative evaluation, which emphasized the lack of quantitative studies.…”

“…For the evaluation indexes determined by qualitative evaluation, the grading and assignment were determined based on previous grading standards [5][6][7]19,20]; the cluster analysis method was used for the quantitative evaluation indexes with regional characteristics according to the survey results of the evaluation zone to determine the grading scope and to assign all evaluation indexes. The grading standards and assigned values of various evaluation indexes are shown in Table 2.…”

Using the constituent elements of vulnerability, an evaluation index system for the ecological vulnerability of coastal areas under oil spill stress is established based on "Sensitivity-Adaptive Capacity-Exposure". After selecting a gulf in China as the main case study in this work, the cluster analysis and reference method were applied in grading and value assigning for all indexes. In addition, the analytic hierarchy process and expert evaluation method were used to determine the index weighting. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation method was adopted in the evaluation studies on the ecological vulnerability of the gulf coastal zone under oil spill stress. Results show the differences between the gulf area and areas that belong to different ecologically-vulnerable areas under oil spill stress.

Coastal dunes constitute complex interface ecosystems between the land and sea, providing important ecological and socio-economic services like coastal protection, recreation, regulation, food supply and biodiversity. They are characterized by high ecological diversity and also by extremely specialized and endemic species. Coastal areas, because of their position between land and sea, are attractive for many human activities. Unfortunately coastal systems have had a long history of exploitation and mismanagement.

“…According to this methodology, habitats would be more or less sensitive to oil spills according to their degree of exposure to hydrodynamic action and substrate characteristics [9]. The different types of habitat identified and their associated main characteristics are listed in Table 1.…”
